How to fix pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'gcloud' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Question

I am trying to connect the firebase authentication.I installed required modules but the above error I couldn't solve.

I tried to create a hooks directry for gcloud but still not solved the problem.

import pyrebase
config = {
  "apiKey": "AIzaSyA13_Zm0WCy4Rg1gPVZ12kPM4p5ei6b40A",
  "authDomain": "timbercal-ecrew1.firebaseapp.com",
  "databaseURL": "https://timbercal-ecrew1.firebaseio.com",
  "storageBucket": "timbercal-ecrew1.appspot.com"
}
firebase = pyrebase.initialize_app(config)
print("Hi Sam")

Here is the error I'm getting:

*"also installed required modules"*: The `pyrebase` module tells otherwise: *"DistributionNotFound: The 'gcloud...'"*: **PLEASE**, do `pip show pyrebase` and `pip show gcloud`, [edit] your Question and **show** the output. — stovfl, Apr 29 '19 at 08:14

I had the same error, I fixed it using hooks mechanism provided by pyinstaller you can try what I did. Create a folder named hooks inside the same working directory. Inside hooks folder create a file named hooks-gcloud.py

content of hooks-gcloud.py

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import copy_metadata, collect_data_files
datas = copy_metadata('gcloud')
datas += collect_data_files('requests')

then try run pyinstaller command.

pyinstaller -F --noconsole --hidden-import="pyrebase" --additional-hooks-dir ./hooks/ --clean filetocompile.py

you may add --clean to remove cache.

Take look to this issue.
